Research snapshot

  • Patios are the preferred outdoor platform nationwide, included in 63.7% of new single‑family homes in 2023—an all‑time high (NAHB).
  • Desert UV exposure can prematurely fade and embrittle unprotected materials; aluminum finishes and powder coats provide stronger UV resistance than untreated wood (Reimagine Roofing).
